Focus on Life - Week 40

Week 40 feels like something of a landmark - hooray for us for having made it this far!This week's prompt was fun (of course!): 'This week focus on the positive and Give Us a Smile!' says Sally, so I give you two photos...One of this week's exercises in the Journal Your Life I'm dong was writing down what makes us happy - do feel free to enlarge and read. How many of these make you smile?

And for you to see my grin, here I am with my friend Tina taken last year by Andrea at a girlie lunch...

That's a beautiful list you have there, Claire. And the idea of putting down on paper what makes one happy is very special: when you feel down you only have to open the journal and your spirits will be lifted up. The picture of the two of you is gorgeous - isn't it special to have such a long lasting relationship?! If I stop and pause one of my best friends is from kindergarten... and although we haven't seen each other in about 20 years, we still keep in touch and we talk like we are in the same room :)

Oh now that is a wonderful exercise! "Good coffee" would have to appear way closer to the top of the page for me lol. That's a great shot of you and Tina. I'm lucky enough to live a few streets away from my bestie since 6, it's a wonderful thing! Your post sure made me smile, thanks Claire

Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. Love is the essential reality of our purpose here on earth. To experience love in ourselves and others is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.

About Me

I suffered a serious stroke over 10 years ago (aged 43 at the time) and it's been a slow, often frustrating, recovery...
I lost my speech and was totally paralyzed on my right side, but with patience and regular physiotherapy, I can now speak, walk short distances, operate the computer, but my right side is still paralyzed. I get botox injections 3 times a year in my right bicep and forearm, which relaxes the high-tone muscles and makes it easier to stand and walk. Last year I started weekly sessions of hydrotherapy, where I build up the wasted muscles by exercising while supported by the warm water. It's bliss at the time, but I ache like heck next day - but it's so worth it :)
